I tell myself I'll sit down for an hour or so and look up to see 4 or 5 hours have passed. My dogs get morning walks at 3PM much of the time (speaking of which...). I ignore household chores (but have done that all my life so it's not really fair to claim AIDSmeds is the cause) and my front walk looks like it hasn't been swept since 2005 (come to think of it, maybe it hasn't). Sometimes I sit so long my big ass falls asleep or I get a charley horse in one of my calves from hanging them off the bed while sitting at the PC.

Abby, what can I do about this problem?

The first step is to admit you are powerless over aidsmeds--that your life has become unmanageable (stolen from AA 12 steps)

The second step is to ignore the next 11 steps like I have and enjoy one of the few things left that doesn't cause too many problems except for the dust bunnies that I sometimes confuse for my terrier...except they move more!

Oh - and at least stand up once in awhile to keep the circulation going and keep those charley horses in the barn.

Darling in those 5 hours you can/have shared your wisdom, made someone laugh, pissed someone off, or sat back and wondered what the hell someone was thinking by what they posted. That's entertainment...

The sad fact is that it's vacation time and I can spend as many hours a day on this site as I want. Once term starts in ten days or so, I'm seriously going to have to limit myself to an hour a day. Or two. Tops.

Her finely-touched spirit had still its fine issues, though they were not widely visible. Her full nature, like that river of which Cyrus broke the strength, spent itself in channels which had no great name on the earth. But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

We've been told in the past to try not to start new threads where an old one may be relevant but it's one of those conflicts the forums posters face- To start a new thread or resurrect an old one, credit Allopathic with doing his homework and finding an old thread he feels is still topical! I don't have such a good memory anymore!

"Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world". "Try to discover that you are the song that the morning brings."

I admit it also. I'm addicted to this web page and I visit it on an almost daily basis. My chair already has the form of my butt!

Did I fall into a time warp during my flight (last night) after a ten day vacation in New York? This was the first email I opened today and I momentarily asked myself who the hell was using my private info to get into the forum and play me. Then I saw the date and fell into reason. What confusion this caused! I don't even remember writting that message! Still, it was weird seeing one of my old replies after all this time...

LOL I never saw the thread because I was not an active member at the time it was initially posted.

So, there you have it. Had Allo not bumped, Win would not have shared the piss pots advice, I've got a mayonaise jar now half full near my recliner, ah damn, I can hear the rehab nurse out in the hall. Gotta go. Not that kind of go, leave go. No, I'm serious. She's a bitch---if she sees me online again---I was doing so well with rehab. Kickin' AM is
